ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve an ordinance on
second reading amending Section 45-4(a), 45-4(c), and 45-4(d) to change the schedule of
rates for water supply service to non-municipal consumers of water including provisions for
a wet season rate (June 1 through November 30) and a dry season rate (December 1
through May 31) to promote conservation of water as follows: June 1 through November
30 - from One Dollar and Thirty-Two Cents ($1.32) per thousand gallons to One Dollar
and Twenty-Two Cents ($1.22) per thousand gallons. December 1 through May 31 - from
One Dollar and Thirty-Two Cents ($1.32) per thousand gallons to One Dollar and Thirty-
Seven Cents ($1.37) per thousand gallons; and changing the minimum monthly service
charge; providing for severability: providing for an effective date; repealing all ordinances
in conflict herewith, effective October 3, 1993.
BACKGROUND
The first reading of the ordinance took place on September 8, 1993.
On June 30, 1993, the City of Miami Beach was notified by Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
Authority Department that the Authority was implementing a uniform wholesale water rate
effective October I, 1993, which for purposes of water conservation would provide a wet
season rate (June 1 through November 30) and a dry season rate (December 1 through
May 31). During the wet season the rate will decrease from $1.32 per thousand gallons to
$1.22 per thousand gallons, similarly during the dry season the monthly rate charged to City 65

customers will increase from $1.32 per thousand gallons to $1.37 per thousand gallons. A
typical customer's bill would be reduced from $ 16.44 to $ 15.00 during the wet season and
increase to $16.80 in the dry season resulting in an average annual decrease of $6.48. This
savings could be increased by conserving water during the dry season. On estimated total
revenues of $ to, 0 13,605, this action will reduce revenues by approximately $63,000 per year,
off-setting a projected surplus to the Water Enterprise Fund for F.Y. 1993/94.
CONCLUSION
In keeping with the objective of conservation of water it is recommended that the City of
Miami Beach adopt the proposed ordinance creating a twenty-five percent conservation
surcharge during the dry months and a similar reduction during the wet season of the year.
This ordinance parallels the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department
wholesale rate to municipal users and results in an overall annual decrease to the average
user.
